The Cy Young odds race was ultimately void of drama, as both leagues wound up being runaways.
That doesn't diminish either Cam Schlittler's or Jacob Misiorowski's success, though. If anything, it amplifies how dominant they were in 2026.
Let's look back at the latest MLB odds in both Cy Young races.

MLB Cy Young winners
Cam Schlittler, Yankees (98%)
Cam Schlittler stood tall when it mattered most.
He finished the season by going 14-6 with a 1.95 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, and 239 strikeouts in 193 2/3 innings. He led AL pitchers in fWAR and trailed only Michael Wacha in innings pitched. While it looked like a neck-and-neck battle with Toronto Blue Jays righty Dylan Cease for much of the summer, Schlittler pulled away in September.
Jacob Misiorowski, Brewers (98%)
Jacob Misiorowski led all MLB starters with 6.6 fWAR, and went 16-5 with a 1.80 ERA and 12.98 K/9 in 174 2/3 innings.
Cristopher Sanchez felt like his closest true competition, as the lefty finished 18-7 with a 2.91 ERA in 207 innings. That ERA is likely what kept this from being closer, but Sanchez was still worth 6.2 fWAR and logged more innings than anyone other than Sandy Alcantara.
